Street Football Wales were delighted to host an inclusion cup at Gôl Centres in Cardiff this week.

 There were two competitions running on the day to suit participants of all ability and to ensure an equal playing field, including the Street Football Wales Cup and the Street Football Wales Plate.  

In the Cup competition, Merthyr #1 impressed, taking 21 points from their eight fixtures, setting up a final with Merthyr #2.

 In a close encounter in the final, it was Merthyr #2 who came out on top, as they were crowned winners of the Street Football Wales Cup.

 As for the Plate competition, both Swansea sides made an impression to reach the final, with Swansea #2 edging it in the final.

 There were some brilliant individual performances, with the Player of the Tournament award going to Lee Bowen. Lee showed some individual brilliance along with good teamwork.

Between the sticks, Liam Mayfield was fantastic, earning the Golden Glove award. He commented: “Thank you for one of the best days of my life so far.”

 Winning the Fair Play award were Vale Madrid, who, despite a difficult set of fixtures, added so much to the tournament.

 After a brilliant turnout for the tournament, Project Manager Scott Jeynes expressed his delight at how the day went.  

“I’m really pleased with the organisation of the tournament. The turnout has been fantastic, it’s great to see so many players here competing.

 “We put on these tournaments every few months and the players always look forward to them. It’s a great chance for the players from the drop-in sessions to come together.  

“There’s been some brilliant performances and a lot of players have made an impression, with a lot of new referees getting their first experiences as well, so it’s been a hugely positive tournament for all of us.”
